"Jonny Quest/Stop the Pigeon" - Reverend Horton Heat

by Max on Thu 31 Jul 2008 12:39 PM PDT | Permanent Link

In 1995, a nifty little compilation CD was released called Saturday Morning: Cartoons' Greatest Hits. Nineteen rocking versions of (mostly) old TV cartoon themes. You've got the Ramones doing "Spider-Man", Helmet busting out "Gigantor", Butthole Surfers rocking the "Underdog" theme, Liz Phair does that Banana Splits song, and many more.

For all of its strong tracks, I have an easy favorite: Horton Heat does the most absolutely badassed version of Jonny Quest you will ever hear. And he throws in that "Stop the Pigeon" song from Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines for good measure.

Did I say badassed? Yeah, damn right I did. BAD!!

Watch a YouTube fanvid for "Jonny Quest/Stop the Pigeon"

Introduction

Some of my online cohorts at the Songfight community decided to create blogs to highlight songs they like. I am now doing it as well, because I am a total lemming.

Songfight is a weekly songwriting competition based on titles provided by the site's administrators. I post there under the handle "Albatross." Go check it out. It's a gas.
